Make sure your night out ends the way you want it to:
- Think ahead - consider how you are going to get home; what about pre-booking a taxi
or arranging a lift with a friend or family member?
- Make sure that you stay with your party and that someone knows where you are at all
times
- You must not, under any circumstances, walk home alone
- Make sure you have enough money to get home or to
phone - Steer clear of trouble - if you see any trouble or suspect
that it might be about
to start - keep clear. The best thing
you can do is to alert the police and keep
away - Walk purposefully and try to appear confident. Be wary of
casual requests from strangers,
like someone asking for a
cigarette or change - they could have ulterior motives
- Men, try not to carry your wallet in your back trouser
pocket where it is vulnerable
and in clear view.
